A Disturbing Pattern
Bernie Williams is a highly rated baseball player. It is doubtful that New York Yankees would have won five of the last six American League pennants without Bernie Williams, but it is not doubtful that he has contributed little to their winning four of their last five World Series.

Clumped Together to Confuse Us
Yes, Bernie Williams has hit the most "postseason" home runs, John Smoltz has won the most “postseason” games, and Tom Glavine has the most “postseason” losses, but Barry Bonds has hit .245 in nine “postseason” series, yet he has a .471 World Series batting average, which is the highest lifetime batting average in World Series history. Who is confused? How about most of the fans. No, make that those who blend all the records after the regular season ends together.

There have been many lead off batters who do not fit the mold of a “traditional” lead off batter. Bernie Williams can join that group and help the Yankees offense.

Six Game Tryout
The situation called for a right handed batter but there was absolutely NO chance of that for two reasons. First, Joe Torre would not send up a hitter for Giambi because this was the last game of Giambi’s six game “tryout.” Second is that the right handed batters on the bench were Andy Phillips, Russ Johnson, John Flaherty, and Rey Sanchez (a switch hitter).

Pedro, Chemistry, Hair, and Nelson
The fans just don’t get. They don’t want Pedro Martinez to pitch for the Yankees because it will destroy the team chemistry, because he has long hair, because he has a friend who is a midget, and because he says dumb things to the media. All those negatives really hurt the Red Sox, didn’t they?

Gary, Joe, and Gil
It was bound to happen, and after it happened, no one reported it. Gary Sheffield dropped a fly ball in the third inning of yesterday’s game when the ball hit the middle of his glove, which was next to his left hip, and popped out. Fortunately for the self declared Yankees’ team leader, the Texas Rangers had a runner on first, enabling the quick witted, never give in, “I don’t strike out when I don’t want to” Sheffield to fire the fallen baseball to Robinson Cano, who in turn fired to Derek Jeter to force Kevin Mensch at second.

Hitting Requires Pitching
Scoring runs does not win games. Scoring more runs than the opposition scores wins games. The New York Yankees have added offense and should score more runs, but the key to regaining the World Championship is the pitching staff.

Not So Bad?
The third baseman is a shortstop, the leftfielder is a second baseman, the centerfielder is a left fielder, the first baseman is cheered because he lost some weight and alleges he will now be a good boy, and the starting pitchers are old and ineffective. The setup man throws up before playoff games, and there is no bench.
